Valley
College of Medical Careers, is committed to ensuring the privacy and
accuracy of your confidential information and to compliance with both
state and federal regulations concerning the use of personal
information. Other than as required by laws that guarantee to third
parties the right to certain types of information, or in response to
subpoenas or other legal instruments that authorize access,
personally-identifiable information is not shared. In particular, we
do not re-distribute or sell personal information collected on our
Web servers. This policy applies to information that is collected by
any means whether electronically, by telephone, or on paper.

Information
Collected

The
College’s websites may collect personal information such as
name, e-mail address, telephone number and educational interests.
Such personal information may be requested for research, public
service or teaching programs, or for administrative purposes.
Additional personal information.

Web
servers typically collect the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the
computer being used, internet web pages requested, the referring
internet web page, the browser used, and the date and time. The
College may collect statistics identifying particular IP addresses
from which our Web sites are accessed.

Use
of Collected Information

The
College may use personal information collected from our Web sites for
the purpose of future communication in order to keep you informed of
such activities as campus programs, symposia and/or special events,
but only if you are provided the opportunity to opt out of that type
of use.

We
use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server and to
administer our Web site by identifying (1) which parts of our site
are most heavily used, and (2) which portion of our audience comes
from within the College’s network. We do not link IP addresses
to personally identifiable information. This means that user sessions
will be tracked, but the users remain anonymous. The College also
does research on our users' demographics, interests, and behavior
based on the information provided to us upon registration, or from
our server log files. We do this to better understand and serve our
users. This research is compiled and analyzed on an aggregated basis.
